You are an influencer!

It's breakfast time and am I ever hungry. I'm not sure what I should eat though. Doughnuts sound so good right now. I think I'll just go down to the store and get a dozen or two for the family. They will love that. Not a big deal, right?

I wonder what's in one Dunkin' Donuts Chocolate Kreme filled donut?

Nutritional Information

Wow! 1 donut is 270 calories, with 13 grams of fat and 4 grams of trans fat? But, it's just one time, so it's ok, right?


Well, your wife was trying to follow her diet, AGAIN, for the 20th time, but now she is going to fail again. You had high blood pressure and this certainly isn't helping improve it. And the kids, well they are picking up bad habits from this. They are being taught that it's ok to have foods that are bad for them on the weekend.


Down the road you will be less healthy along with the rest of your family. But you will also have more health complications as you continue this pattern throughout the years. And the bad habits your kids pick up, they will pass down to their kids too.


Often times we blame genetics for the obesity problem in America, but it's often just the traditions that we pass down from one generation to the next that tends to cause the problem.


We have to realize that the daily choices we make affect more than just us. We have to take care of our health for us and those we love the most. Those daily habit, good or bad, will have an impact on those who are closest to us.
